Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Casts Drea de Matteo as ‘Daredevil’ Character

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has plenty of enemies by its March 3 return, but we never expected one of the Sons of Anarchy to start beef. FX alum Drea de Matteo will go up against Coulson and his increasingly Inhuman teammates when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for its 2015 run, but might the new figure have surprising ties to Netflix’s Daredevil?

Per Entertainment Weekly, Sopranos star de Matteo will take the role of Karla Faye Gideon, a mysteriously-gifted woman who allies with Skye’s Inhuman papa Cal (Kyle MacLachlan) against the new ragtag S.H.I.E.L.D., owing to a prior grudge against the organization. The name “Karla Faye Gideon” holds at least some precedent in the comics as a supporting Daredevil character, though it remains to be seen what, if any relation the two shows might have.
